That's one interpretation of Guarantano's comments last week, when the junior quarterback said he's enjoying more freedom to make pre-snap reads and adjustments in offensive coordinator Jim Chaney's system.

On Monday, coach Jeremy Pruitt proclaimed Tennessee's defense got its tail kicked by the offense in the team's first full-pads practice. That leads Adams to recall a time when he got his tail kicked in the Army.

And Toppmeyer and Adams debate who from Tennessee's roster they'd want to represent them in a pugil-stick battle.
